This article presents a review of several common emotional and developmental challenges faced by African American female college students who attend predominantly White colleges and universities. The authors suggest that these challenges can be addressed through programs that promote these students' psychological growth and maturity. A cognitive-developmental intervention strategy, base primarily on Loevinger's theory of ego development, is outlined.
